A swimsuit is a kind of clothing. Its fabric is mainly composed of nylon/polyester and spandex. Due to the characteristics of the fabric and the material, not all washing methods are suitable for it. Normally, most swimsuits are suggested to be washed by hand. Washing your swimsuit by hand can make your fashionable swimsuit look fresher and more durable. If you take good care of your swimsuit, it will pay off in the long run.
But why do swimwear need to be washed by hand and not in a washing machine? Because they are fragile and easily deformed. In addition, most detergents contain bleach and fluorescent agents, which if used can damage the color and elasticity of the swimsuit.
If the swimsuit is washed in hot water above 30 degrees, the high temperature will destroy the elastic fibers of the swimsuit fabric. So, it's best to wash your swimsuit by hand in cold water and air dry.
If the swimsuit has been contaminated with chlorine, chemicals, or oils in the sea or pool, it should be soaked before entering the water to minimize damage and should be rinsed immediately after swimming before taking it off.
Also, don't leave wet swimsuits in bags for long periods, as they may heat up, color fade, or create an unpleasant odor. You can quickly wash your hands with water, rub them gently, dry them with a towel, and then dry them in a cool place without direct exposure to light.
Protect your swimsuit from harm by washing it by hand. Have the following hand-wishing swimsuit tips:
- Step 1. Hang your swimsuit on a clothesline or hanger to dry. Don't hang your swimsuit in direct sunlight -- UV rays can discolor fabric.
- Step 2. Don't put your swimsuit in the dryer - dryers can cause permanent damage to the fabric.
- Step 3. Don't twist or wring out your swimsuit to remove excess water - this could break the elasticity of the fabric.
While washing machines are convenient and quick, choosing a hand-washed swimsuit will better protect materials, preserve color, reduce the risk of damage, and enable deep cleaning. By proper hand washing method, you can effectively extend the service life of the swimsuit, so that you can enjoy the fun in the summer water activities. Next time you want to clean your swimsuit, try washing it by hand to give your swimsuit even more care!
